Has anyone noticed this year that the quartz bond is skyrocketing in price? Believe now it's going for way more then it did new
I haven’t noticed it myself in Australia, but it’s most likely has to do with the passing of Sir Sean Connery.
As @omegafanaa mentioned, his passing has brought much attention to the James Bond series. Although he wore a vintage Sub, I would imagine most people, if not all, associated the James Bond with the humble Omega Seamaster.
What does everyone think I am in need of funds because this pandemic and have been offered 1700 usd for mine is this fair
Maybe they have risen a little bit I wouldn’t say skyrocketed. Take it. That’s generous for a quartz SMP. Maybe a 2264 might fetch more but not normally the others like the Bond. That would be top money really and personally I’d expect a mint watch with box and papers for that.
Chrono24 says that $2.2k is an average for box and papers included, but yeah prices on ch24 are like living in own dreams. https://watchcharts.com/watch/705/omega-seamaster-300m-quartz-2541-80 I prefer to use those, and imo $1.7k does not sound bad.
I noticed too. A well known seller of used Omega watches on WUS just sold a mint 2541.80 that he listed for US$ 2,375! And I know from experience that he does not negotiate much, so selling price must have been close to asking.
